Ardrossan Unit is proud to support two local Queens Baton Bearers. CPO John Macdonald and Able Cadet Robyn Gurney will both carry the Queens Baton when it comes to North Ayrshire on the 15th of July.
The baton will land back in Scotland on the 14th of July after visiting 70 countries, and territories, and traveling more than 190,000 miles. Unlike the Olympic baton where there are many of them made, only one Queen's Baton has been made and has been carried by thousands around the world.
We have spoken to both John and Robyn to see how they were feeling about being nominated to carry the baton, John said "It's a great honour and I feel very privileged that I have been selected to carry the Queen's Baton" Robyn commented also saying "I am very excited but I don't know if I can run 200m"
T.S. Gannet are very proud of both of our team members and will be cheering you on as you carry the baton through your route.
